children the children what Ruby did and how this effected Angela’s feelings
towards Ruby? Ruby copies Angela’s Dress; therefore, Angela doesn’t

As you read each 2 page spread, think of one sentence that summaries the
main idea of the 2 pages.

sentences in order. These maybe used for a “who mixed-up our sentences”
activity.
